I was burned by the heat radiating from him.
Pushing him away with my elbow, I looked directly into his eyes and asked, "Gu Zhiming, do you really love me?"
He didn’t answer; instead, he answered a phone call.
His expression changed dramatically.
He let go of me, his tone somewhat impatient. "Xiaoyue, I have to step out for a moment. We'll talk when I get back."
I grabbed the hem of his shirt, my eyes reddening. "Is it Lu Wan?"
He said nothing, simply pried my hand away and walked off.
"Gu Zhiming!"
I stood in the rain, shouting at his retreating figure, "If you take one more step, it's over for us."
Yet he continued to walk away.
The rain poured down on my face.
I ran after his silhouette.
The last image in my memory was—
The blinding headlights of a car.
The pain of being struck.
With the last bit of strength I had, I looked in the direction where Gu Zhiming had left.
He had long since disappeared.
There was no silhouette.
There was no turning back.
The rain was pouring heavily.
Gu Zhiming received a call from Lu Wan, saying that her home had been robbed.
He hurried out the door.
I couldn't keep him.
I asked, "Gu Zhiming, do you not want to marry me?"
He didn't answer me.
My soul floated after him.
It floated to Lu Wan's residence.
The door opened.
Lu Wan's smile came into view.
She rushed into Gu Zhiming's arms: "I knew you would come."
Gu Zhiming looked her up and down: "Are you hurt?"
Lu Wan shook her head: "No."
Gu Zhiming finally breathed a sigh of relief and held her tightly.
Lu Wan blinked and smiled mischievously, "I was just kidding, no one is coming."
Gu Zhiming helplessly raised his hand to ruffle her hair, "I really can't do anything with you."
Lu Wan pressed her face against his, acting cute, "Gu Zhiming, I miss you."
Gu Zhiming didn't say anything.
His gaze was very gentle.
Like how he looked at me back then.
No.
Much gentler than how he looked at me.
A dull pain surged in my chest.
I remembered once when I took the subway and my phone was stolen.
I borrowed a phone to call Gu Zhiming.
"Gu Zhiming, I lost my phone."
"Mm."
"Gu Zhiming, I'm so scared alone."
"Mm."
"Gu Zhiming, can you come pick me up?"
"Uh-huh."
Then, I hung up the phone.
I knew he wouldn't come.
I just wanted to test how much I meant to him.
But I clearly knew the answer, yet I kept deceiving myself over and over again.
He said he loved me.
How could he not love me?
He treated me so well.
But now, watching him embrace Lu Wan, so close and intimate, I finally gave up.
Gu Zhiming's phone lit up.
Lu Wan glanced at it, her smile freezing.
"Are you going to break up with Chen Yiyue?"
Gu Zhiming glanced at the screen and hummed in response.
Lu Wan asked, "Is it because of me?"
Gu Zhiming looked at her, his tone gentle: "It's none of your business."
Lu Wan smiled and reached for his phone. "Then I'll help you reply."
Gu Zhiming snatched the phone away, his tone turning serious. " Xiao Wan, stop messing around. You can't deceive me about this anymore."
Gu Zhiming never let go of Lu Wan.
My heart felt like it had been thrown into icy water, cold enough to suffocate.
I forced a bitter smile.
In the beginning, I was the one pursuing Gu Zhiming.
I chased him for two years before he finally agreed.
Gu Zhiming was too outstanding; there were countless girls after him.
He received many love letters and gifts every day.
And I was just the most ordinary one.
Ordinary looks, ordinary grades, ordinary family background.
I had nothing.
The only thing I had was persistence.
I clung to him tightly, following him around, confessing my feelings over and over again.
